The message, sent via email, made it very clear that it was in response to a perceived threat against gay and transgender people.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<h3>\u201cWe won\u2019t stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following targets.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>Five addresses were listed, four in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<h3>\u201cWe will continue to bomb your targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LGBT merchandise,\u201d<\/h3>\n<p>the message continued. \u201cWe will not be erased, we won\u2019t go quietly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WOIO reported the threat to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/president-trump-pledges-orderly-transition-of-power\/\" title=\"President Trump pledges orderly transition of power\">local law enforcement<\/a> and the FBI. The threat does not appear to have been legitimate, although the station reported that \u201cprecautions were quickly taken to ensure no one got hurt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in Utah, <a href=\"https:\/\/kutv.com\/news\/local\/layton-target-evacuated-after-bomb-threats-reported-at-multiple-utah-stores-pride-merchandise-salt-lake-taylorsville-provo-lgbtq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KUTV-TV<\/a> reported that a Target in Layton was evacuated after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/leftists-call-free-speech-violence-to-mute-critics-of-barbaric-transgender-surgeries-for-kids\/\" title=\"Leftists Call Free Speech \u2018Violence\u2019 To Mute Critics Of Barbaric Transgender Surgeries For Kids\">false bomb threats<\/a> were made. Other Target locations were threatened in Salt Lake City, Taylorsville and Provo, but only the Layton store appears to have been evacuated.<\/p>\n<p>Police Sgt. John Ottesen noted that Target\u2019s LGBT merchandise, which has caused a bit of a cultural kerfuffle in recent weeks, was specifically mentioned in the Utah threats.<\/p>\n<p>Not unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/conservatives-can-declare-victory-bud-light-boycott-anheuser-busch-market-value-15-7-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bud Light<\/a>, Target has found itself smack-dab in the center of a raging cultural battle over hot-button LGBT issues, particularly transgenderism.<\/p>\n<p>The retailer came under a searing spotlight when reports began circulating that its \u201cPride\u201d items not only <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/major-american-retailer-puts-wokeness-full-display-pride-books-kids-rainbow-items-babies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">targeted minors<\/a>, but had\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/target-takes-wokeness-step-now-company-also-accused-pushing-satanic-gear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">actual ties<\/a> to Satan.<\/p>\n<p>The backlash intensified when \u201ctuck-friendly\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/big-american-retailer-releases-disturbing-new-female-swimsuit-extra-crotch-coverage-tuck-friendly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">swimsuits<\/a> with \u201cextra crotch coverage\u201d were discovered for sale at Target. \u201cTucking\u201d is a practice in which men conceal the outline of their genitals in an attempt to appear female.<\/p>\n<p>Target has lost roughly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/target-already-feeling-major-financial-pain-conservative-backlash-intensifies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$9 billion<\/a> in market value since the controversy began.<\/p>\n<p>The company has been accused of catering to the homophobic right-wing redneck bigots who protested and vandalized their store. The threats received by Target stores across the country are a response to this perceived threat against the LGBT community.<\/p>\n<p>Target must take a stand and bring back their LGBT merchandise. The far right will not stop until they do. We will not be erased, we won\u2019t go quietly.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/multiple-targets-receive-threats-response-homophobic-right-wing-redneck-bigots\/\">Multiple Targets Receive Threats in Response to &#8216;Homophobic Right Wing Redneck Bigots&#8217;<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>to Target&#8217;s support of the LGBT community.
